Folks, I mentioned that this fellow could try OpenWrt to turn on SQM/fq_codel, and it worked as well as we all hoped/expected... Nice Job to all who contributed to this.

So I started my first VOIP testing using my home line that is on a OBI 202 to VOIP.MS. During the first set of tests I found what I would call "perfect" received audio and the person I called said that my audio is great but there may have been a couple of words that had "edges" to them. This load situation would have normally destroyed any out bound audio. > > I will be conducting tests with Ring Central and my polycom phone! > VIEW REPLY > This message sent from the RingCentral community on Get Satisfaction. > Stop receiving notifications about this question > Create a customer community for your company at GetSatisfaction.com. > > >
